This year we could face our greatest security challenge/threat since WWII.

If you are paying attention, it's going to happen.

Take your pick from below. They are just waiting to blow up. We will not be able to keep all these threats/challenges from exploding.

Iran on the verge of nuclear weapon. We or Israel attacks. Shit can spiral out of control quick. Iran attacks the USA in the continental USA.

North Korea has nuclear weapons. They have paid unemployed Russian ballistic engineers to help them. They are now making progress. The kid needs to prove to the military he is as loco as they are. Shit can spiral out of control quick.

Pakistan has a coup or political instability and terrorists get a hold of one of their nuclear weapons. Shit can spiral out of control quick.

Syria draws us into a renewal of the cold war. Shit can spiral out of control quick.

The Saudi or Jordanian Kings get thrown out by their people.

Egypt turns to civil war and the hard liners win and disavow the Israeli/Egyptian treaty. Shit can spiral out of control quick.

Yemeni authorities working with the U.S. Navy intercepted a ship carrying a "substantial" cache of "illegal arms" such as surface-to-air missiles, potent explosives and rocket-propelled grenades, a U.S. official and Yemen's government said Monday.

The incident took place in Yemeni territorial waters in the Arabian Sea last Wednesday, according to a statement issued five days later from Yemen's embassy in Washington.

The crew of the USS Farragut, a Naval destroyer, was working with Yemeni authorities when they spotted the vessel, said an official in the Obama administration. The ship had several flags onboard, but no reliable documentation showing where it came from, the official added Monday.
After the ship was intercepted, Yemeni coast guard officers boarded it and "found a large cache of illegal arms," according to the Yemeni embassy's statement, which was also posted on the website of the Arabian country's state-run SABA news agency.

The firepower included anti-aircraft missiles, C4 military-grade explosive, ammunition and bomb-making equipment such as circuits, remote triggers and various handheld explosives, the Yemeni statement said.
There were eight Yemeni crew members aboard the vessel.
The Obama administration official described the effort as a joint operation, and said U.S. forces joined their Yemeni counterparts in boarding the suspect boat.

Enemy of my enemy is my friend. Same damn reason we are "friends" with Pakistan, Yemen and Afghanistan governments etc etc

Yeah, I wasn't serious. That's what critics of the Bush administration used to say when news of Iran support of al Qaeda in Iraq and Afghanistan was reported. And also what they said about Saddam (in the sense that he wasn't an Islamist and he supposedly wouldn't work with Islamists).

And this is a dilemma for myself personally. The evidence is piling up that we can't ignore that Iran is funding AL-QAaeda is not even trying to be sly about it anymore.

I'm in favor of killing every member of Al-Qaeda until they decide to quit trying to kill Americans. I think we should attack them wherever they are hiding. Pakistan, take em out with drones. Yemen, use drones and SO. If they are hiding in any country and that country won't do anything about it, we go in and take them out.

What about providing arms? Aid and comfort to our enemies? If Iran is going to brazenly help Al-Qaeda do we just let it go? Going to war with Iran will be long and bloody and the war will come to the homeland. Is it worth it?

We should have done something about it when we first found it happening in Iraq and Afghanistan and when we had significant forces on either side of them. Of course, we had a third front to fight here at home with the way many democrats (and some isolationist Republicans) were working full time to undermine the war effort.

okay now lets put this together in case some on here are not paying attention........ public info

Iran and North Korea has all kinds of agreements, including a “civilian scientific and technological cooperation”.

Iran is publicly helping North Korea with ballistic technology

Iran put a monkey in space this week. Why would you do that? You really think they are interested in space exploration?

North Korea has 8-10 low yield nuclear weapons

Russia uses red fuming nitric acid in their ballistic missiles. North Korea is using it. How did they get it? Learn how to use it? It wasn't from the Russians directly. Has to have come from Iran.

No, war will cost thousands of innocent lives and could spiral out of control into a wider war that no one can "win".

That being said, there is no way we can allow Iran to posses nuclear weapons unless they throw the mullahs out. And we can't allow North Korea to put one of their nuclear warheads on a ballistic missile that could reach USA.

But, all of our options suck royal ass. What needs to happen is China sit on dumbass North Korea and tell them to chill. It's not in their best interests either. And the people of Iran need to throw the mullahs out.
